Acts To Grind Theatre Presents HAM, ALOT – A Lot Like Hamlet But Way More Awesome

Un théâtre francophone de plus en plus musical.

Cette production présentée dans une ambiance volontairement cabaret fait la part belle au pastiche et propose plusieurs styles et genres musicaux avec des chansons très Brodway, Gospel, etc.

INTRIGUE – SUSPENSE – DECEPTION – CONTROVERSY

Mamet was influenced to write Glengarry Glen Ross out of a serious interest in the kind of people who quietly go about their lives, performing “regular” jobs yet endure indignities while doing so… It is an image of a society that Mamet obviously despises but finds fascinating.

Notoriously fueled by ‘the heat generated by men’, David Mamet’s searing 1983 Pulitzer Prize-winner Glengarry Glen Ross … is an exposé of the devastation wrought by toxic masculinity is more timely than ever. In any case, it is, on first glance, an unusual – and on second glance, pretty apt — choice for Acts To Grind Theatre.

Saveur universelle

Si Naked Boys Singing attire des spectateurs et des spectatrices en raison de la nudité des artistes, Quentin Bruno affirme que les gens sont finalement surpris, car ils assistent à un véritable spectacle de danse et de chansons.

At times hilarious, at times sentimental, but always loads of fun!

With a barebones set, seasoned director Davyn Ryall shows some fun creative staging in bringing us into the Sawatsky home, McMillan’s restaurant, and the streets of Yorkville, although a few extra props could help with the suspension of disbelief.

Plan your 2018 Mother’s Day weekend outing by coming OUT to the Royal Theatre with your mom, your better half, or make it an entire family affair outing.

The rapidfire dialogue and action moves along at an incredibly fast pace, the language is very dense, almost like Shakespeare, and it’s filled to the brim with fantastic humorous Brad Fraser wit.

Perfect for the Fringe in it’s creepiness…a chilling experience perfect for a hot summer night.

Set in London 1997, four lives intertwine over the course of four and a half years in this densely plotted, stinging look at modern love and betrayal.

Melodramedy – Closer, Acts to Grind Theatre

« In its cutting contemporary picture of sexual desire and emotional failure, Closer is a brilliantly unusual virtual reality that rings true… » — NY Observer

“Closer is a brilliant and bracingly adult play from London… bruising and beautiful, shatteringly funny and devastatingly sad. The play’s dialogue has a raw emotionality rarely heard in art or life. It cuts like broken glass… full of bitter, intelligent, unvarnished truth.” — Variety.
